About River Hill

River Hill is a popular campground on the banks of the Rio Grande River. Situated in a meadow surrounded by willows, campers come here to fish for trout, hunt and take in the beautiful views of the forested hills and rock bluffs. River kayaking and fishing are also popular activities, and the Rio Grande Reservoir is just a couple miles away.

What Guests Are Saying

River Hill is a beautiful and well-maintained campground, praised for its stunning scenery and friendly hosts, Edie and Felix, who go above and beyond for guests. The facilities, including bathrooms, are consistently clean and well-cared for, making for a pleasant camping experience. While the access road has some washboards and there was an issue with fresh water pumps, these concerns do not overshadow the campground's overall appeal, and many visitors look forward to returning.

What a beautiful, clean campground. The river was flowing fast, and my husband still caught an 8" trout! Both of us got in bike rides. The burned trees from a fire several years ago are making a comeback, especially the aspen. The camp hosts, Edie and Felix are wonderful. The pride in their work is beyond compare. I have never been to a campsite that was racked with a fire pit empty before! That's when I knew it was safe for me to use the vault toilets!! Great first trip out! Barb and Mike

Edie and Felix are the best campground hosts ever, bathrooms are clean and they are so helpful. Wish I could say the say the same about the new management company. They did not supply campsite reservations until late the day opening day. No excuse for that, people did not know what sites were available and which ones were not. A very bad position to put the hosts in. This new management company seems to be playing defense instead of offense. Edie should be running this region and not the ones currently there ;-)

One of the nicest campgrounds I have ever been to. Very well maintained with campsites nicely spaced, many of which were right on the water. Bathrooms were spotless. The campground hosts (Edie and Felix) were very friendly and conscientious and were always checking to make sure you were having a good experience. I largely attribute the quality of the campground to their efforts. Unfortunately, 2021 was their last season. The ten miles of dirt road to get to the campground can be a little rough with washboards and small potholes, but manageable if you simply take your time. The road had been recently graded by the time we left, so was much better. You will love this campground!

Beautiful area. Deer came right through the campground and squirrels scurried about. Very relaxing and quiet. Other campers were very well behaved. Many sites with varying amounts of shade. Horseshoe game was a pleasant surprise. Pit toilets were very well maintained and camp host was very friendly and helpful. One note if you're not aware, the campgrounds are about 10 miles down an unpaved and sometimes bumpy road. Take it slow and no big deal.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
